Off-Duty Police Officer Punches Driver in the Face

Shocking video captured the moment an off-duty Connecticut cop punched a motorist. The drama started when Thomas Brocuglio honked his horn to get the driver in front of him to make a turn. The angry pickup driver got out of his vehicle, walked over to Brocuglio’s van and punched him in the face. Police found the suspect at home. Turns out, the suspect was a cop himself. Corporal Ganter was suspended for five days without pay and must attend anger management training for the next three years.

Dude can’t drive
Dude can’t police
Dude can’t punch

Not having self control and you're a cop. Perfect mix.

[debaser]

Full version shows that he does not in fact “quickly fess up” he denies and lies until he’s told there’s video evidence.

[FZNGAMING]

If he's doing this whilst being off duty, imagine the horrors he must get up to when on duty!

[robertmayo]

Just because that dude is a cop doesn't mean he just do whatever the hell he wants and get away with it. That cop should be suspended, arrested in charged.

"My fault for having no self control", so you're naturally violent. what a great guy to have on the force.

[angeleternity]

If you can't control yourself in a "normal" and no dangerous situation, you can't be a cop. Must be fired right now.

Can’t believe it only suspended for 5 days? Not arrested nor charged

[eringallagher]

This story doesn't mention that he tried to deny it at first, until the responding officer told him it was on dash cam.

Remember kids: You punch a cop, you get charged with assaulting and/or battery against a peace officer. That means 10-15 years in prison.

This cop commits battery against the driver and gets 5 days off of his job.

Think about that for a sec.

This is why having a dashcam showing both in and outside the vehicle is so important.

[jaames]

imagine that same cop losing his patience while holding a gun

[divad]

"My fault for not having self-control" lol what a joke. That cop knew exactly what he was doing when punching the guy, it would have been a cops word over his if not for the dash cam.

[ccwt]

If he has problems with self-control, he should NOT be a cop!!

[thisisntmedicine]

"My fault for not having self control"
That is the LAST thing you want to hear from a guy who has to use a gun at a high stress situation based job 0-0

[YellowLabradorTV]

How is bro anywhere CLOSE to being in acceptable physical shape to be a cop💀

[Kevification]

This is a good example why its better off not beeping at ppl and getting into arguments, too many unhinged ppl out there. Just not worth it.

Cop got 5 days off? If a citizen did that to a cop the citizen would be arrested. Charged with assaulting a police officer and thrown in jail for a few years.

[Brownshabsfan]

Should be fired and charged with assult. 100%

[gerardoguerrero]

“My fault for not having self control” as a cop…who is supposed to be the standard of self control…the irony is incredibly laughable.
